What's the deal with flash bangs?

I know that they blind people and take away like 5 health. I know that they are improved with explosive focus. I know that they can blind people through floors and walls. I know that you can turn your back to a thrown flash bang and it won't blind you. What I don't understand is if you hit someone that it may not blind them and there are other times when they seem like they don't work. Anyone have answers for this?---Jesus could have baked the most delicious cake.

We're not talking about tootsie pops.---Jesus could have baked the most delicious cake.

I'm pretty sure they don't actually do damage.There's a glitch where weapons can be credited for a kill, when they hit nearly the same time as the killing blow.

Also, they're just so unreliable :|

I've never caught onto the whole "won't blind you if you if your back is turned" but maybe that has something to do with it.---NS_CHAIN 2666-2862-7656

They are deadly annoying. You can't do anything about it. Except blindly fire shots and go all bunny.---Remember me...

Well, you don't have to fire entirely blind. Move the cursor around untill it changes red, then fire. This way you can still "aim" while being blinded.

That's very hard to master, though. Especially when the player could be behind you or far on the side. I started spraying everywhere with a SCAR when I got blinded today without luck.---TCon-{AISP FC: 3954-8764-7672}Con2-{AISP FC: 4083-8526-7529 HC-AISP FC: 4642-7312-4915}
